Characters. — Head with appressed scales; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, in c simple. 
Labial palpi long, recurved, strongly laterally compressed, sharp-edged anteriorly, second joint 
thickened with scales, truncate, terminal joint as long as second, thickened with smooth appressed scales 
terminating abruptly just below acute apex, sharp-edged posteriorly. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Forewings 
with r$ furcate, 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings over r, 
trapezoidal, termen hardly sinuate; 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximated, 6 and 7 stalked. 
Remarks. — I am not acquainted with this genus, supposed to be characterised by the peculiar . 
palpi; it is possibly related to Teuchophanes.

Aeolotrocha, Meyrick, Ann. Transv. Mus. Vol. 8, p. 78 (1921). — Type : A. generosa, Meyrick. 
Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 5/6, 
in c* serrulate, simple, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint 
considerably thickened with appressed scales, strongly compressed, terminal joint rather shorter than 
second, moderate, acute. Maxillary palpi obsolete. Posterior tibiae clothed with rough hairs above.

termen, 11 from middle. Hindwings r, trapezoidal, apex obtuse, termen faintly sinuate, cilia 4/5; 
3 and 4 connate, 5 nearly parallel, 6 and 7 stalked.
